Sander van ‘t Noordende, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “When I began as CEO of Randstad this year, it was clear that the world of work is rapidly changing and we needed to address three key challenges. First, scarcity has put talent firmly in the lead. Second, securing the right talent is the number one priority of our clients. And third, our industry is digitizing at speed. With this new Executive Leadership Team we are taking a first critical step in addressing these challenges at scale, ensuring Randstad remains a strategic partner for its clients and becomes a partner of choice for global talent.”
